The Runaway

Chapter 11: Chaos

He walked into Batman's Impromptu Bat cave in the watchtower.

S: "I found Him"

Batman Turned around. You really couldn't tell with the mask he wore but he was surprised.

B: "Found Who?"

S: "Superboy"

B: "What? Where? And how is it that you of all people found him?", still surprised.

S: "I don't know how he ended up there but I'm pretty sure it's him. Although he goes by another name now."

B: "Well you still haven't said where?"

S: "You wouldn't believe me but at my parent's house. He was at my parent's house. He goes by the name Joe Henry. Apparently, he was living in Montana when he left Mount Justice. He then moved to Nebraska and ended up working for some friends of my parents. They ten convinced him to help them out at the farm. From what my parents told me he was unconvinced of going but in the end he went with them."

B: "Ok then are we going to verify that it's actually him? , because you know you hardly knew the guy and everything. However, I guess you would be the most appropriate person to identify him it's like looking in the mirror, right? Do you parents not notice the resemblance?"

S: "They haven't mentioned anything yet to me but they seem to like him".

B: "Yeah they must feel the connection. He could be their grandson."

S: "He is not their grandson because he is not my son. Will you stop with that? He is a clone. My clone. How would you like being clone without your permission?"

B: "Ok but the question is, are we going to get him back or not?"

S: "I don't know maybe we should just leave him there. At least we know where he is."

B: "Why so you don't have to deal with him. You know that you still have to see him when you go see you parent's."

S: "I don't know what you're talking about. Obviously if he wanted to stay with the league, he wouldn't have left. Would he?"

B : "Remember the letter. He left because he felt like he didn't belong. Let's be honest and admit that He left because he knew you didn't want him. However, that's your decision."

As they continued talking about Connor the alarm went off. Batman looked at the alarm.

B: "Its Smallville there is a meteor shower. How could we not see this before. We need everyone available to go help."

As he sent reinforcements he noticed Superman was gone. He wasn't surprised it was his hometown. He knew however that more help was needed.

There was a lot of destruction in Smallville, a lot of debris. Superman went to his parent's house knowing that the rest of the league would be coming within second to help. His first priorities were his parents.

He arrived at his house and saw that the Barn and the House were both destroyed completely. He shouted out for his parent's , they in turn were nowhere to be found.

He used his X-ray vision around the barn and house. There was nothing under the chaos. Everything was now in ashes. It seemed a big meteor had set his home on fire.

He shouted out for them.

"Mom, Dad, where are you?" nothing so far. Them he saw movement when he turned around towards the fields there behind him were his parent's with Superboy.

They seemed in shock with some minor cuts and scratches the one that seemed to have taken the most of the impact was Superboy. In a way he was grateful to the young clone. His parents were safe and he owed him. Connor was on the ground he seemed to be more hurt than what was previously assessed by far.

He flew to their location and saw the look of worry in his father eyes but he saw a look of worry and something that he could not decipher in his mother's eyes.

Superboy was badly injured it looked as if a piece of rock where inserted in his body when he was protecting his family. He also had a big piece of something that looked like wood that went through his stomach and went the other way. He didn't know how this was possible. He is Superboy, he should be invincible.

Right now was not the time to figure this out. He made sure his parents could walk and made sure that wolf and sphere were okay as well. Wolf was sitting by his master it seemed that he was also hurt. Not hurt as bad as Superboy, but hurt nonetheless.

Sphere turned in a motorcycle that could carry his parents and wolf. Superman in turn carried Superboy. Flying out of the chaos, he spotted Batman and told him he would take his family to the watchtower.
